Thanks! I took your advice and did this for a trip to Florida to see my parents. Four navy/Four white with a few touches of coral and bright blue. I already owned most of it. It was so easy and continues to be my summer favorites. It made me feel so organized and I had the smallest suitcase in the family!

This my first time packing according to your principles and my very small bag is ready! This was much harder than I anticipated, and it took some time to get over the 'what ifs' that never happen. Thanks for all your help.

This relates back too the comment about women coming in to shop and buying random pieces on sale and never looking as well turned out as the women who shop a couple of times a year and buy complete outfits. I have stopped buying. I have bought a random cotton skirt and a striped top this summer. Now, I think about what I buy instead of buying what's on sale.Karen

A little while back you mentioned buying a product bar in Ireland to remove spots on white clothing while traveling. Have you ever seen this product in other countries? Our local supermarket has some products – all liquid – by the same manufacturer, but no bar.

I have been trying to follow your priciples with my work clothing and find that I am wearing the same items more per month than I did last year.

I love this collection. I could easily see myself in all of the colors. I was in the process of rethinking my entire wardrobe when I stumbled across your blog. I have gone back over all your old posts. You have given me a lot to think about. Other than a couple of basic white and cream tees, I am not buying anything while I figure out what I have that works and what doesn't. Thanks so much for all your hard work.
